  by martin steinbrugger

• The Captive
  by jacqi

  Will I ever feel the wind again…..........

  My mother died many years ago but I still remember her saying when she was ill “Will I ever feel the wind again?” with such longing. I think of her when I hear the wind blowing in the trees.

• Xerophthalmia & Abduction

  I see / all and nothing / through xeric eyes: / the paradox of bound vision (...)

  This collection of words is from some time in late 2006, with revisions in the Summer of 2007. As a vaguely-relevant side-note, xerophthalmia is a medical term for dry-eyes, for those who are curious. I like the sound of the word, for what it’s worth.
